4 Bed Terraced House For Sale

Situated in a lovely position in the centre of the village and just a two-minute walk from The Greyhound Inn, 18 High Street is a charming example of a mid-19th century cottage and is Grade II listed. It is set back and above the passing lane and has a classic symmetrical front with four tall sash windows around a central arched opening around the front door and fanlight above it. The cottage has accommodation on three floors including a suite of converted attics plus a rear single storey extension containing the kitchen. It sits under a Welsh slate roof and the exterior is covered with painted render scribed to resemble cut stone. The interior is brimming with character with many original architectural fittings including wainscot panelling in the rear hall and elegant fireplaces in both reception rooms. It has two lovely reception rooms with timber floors at the front overlooking the lane and a rear-facing kitchen/breakfast room that looks out onto the terrace and rear garden. The kitchen has a stone tiled floor, is fully fitted with units under timber work surfaces and a range of built-in electric appliances and has a separate alcove with space for a large American-style fridge and a kitchen table seating six people. On the first floor is a long, wide landing well-lit by natural light, which leads to the family bath and shower room and two double bedrooms, both with views of the surrounding countryside. Within the roof space are two further bedrooms: a walk-through single bedroom leading to a large double bedroom.

Behind the cottage is a charming, private garden enclosed by close-boarded timber fencing and with views out to the unspoilt countryside surrounding the village. Immediately behind the cottage is a good-sized paved terrace with ample space for barbequing and outside dining. A short flight of steps leads up to a small, level lawn fringed by narrow, colourful borders filled with roses, shrubs and herbaceous perennials. At the back of the garden in one corner is a timber arbour that provides a lovely, west-facing seating area sheltering under Virginia creeper and climbing roses. In the adjacent corner is a timber garden store.
